The plan should be to win the game

true but they still should have one eye on the NRR.
Booth wrote a good article on it yesterday.
the good thing is with batting first it makes NRR and winning the game being the same thing if that makes sense.

England still need to score the highest they can in the first innings and in the 2nd innings they only need to win the game and restrict or get Afghanistan all out with a good margin.

if they batted second that when you can get confused with the NRR and also winning the game.

Scoring as many as possible and getting wickets is a good plan!

Great start for Afghanistan.

only 4 down so far - Eng bat deep so they obviously just want to give the lower order some match practice!
